Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10.574)
This is Jackie.

This is Jason.

And this is Homebodies Only, where we welcome all bodies to join us as we break down and dissect HBO Max series. This episode, we are talking about the White Lotus, Season 3, Episode 6, Denials. The summary from ToonFine.com. In the wake of the full moon festivities, Lori finds herself feeling deceived by Jacqueline while a hungover Saxon tries to bury what happened the night before. Later, Belinda's son arrives at an inopportune moment.

Chloe faces questions from her boyfriend and Rick continues his ruse with Cetela.

Dun, dun, dun, dun. Yeah, we do it. A lot happened this episode. A lot happened. This is a really good episode. I'm going to foreshadow. I don't have a lot of hates for it. I have a lot of things that I like. But first, we have what's become a running bit on the show. Alternative titles, some of which I borrowed but are appropriate. So the first one I've got is Send Lawyers Guns and Money. Awkward. Brotherly love. About last night.

Speaker 1 (01:14.85)
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:20.415)
and don't ask, don't tell.

There you go. You want to know mine? Saxon finally got his happy ending. Sorry. Sorry.

You had one as well.

Speaker 2 (01:32.43)
man, you know, this was the first episode that I think I might've had like a shade of sympathy. For Saxon. World-class D-bag. I have a lot of loves. You have some loves this week?

for a

Speaker 1 (01:47.918)
do have some loves. I did love, well, this is more like a laugh, like Zion seeing his mom with orange. Belinda quoting from Scarface, which I need to watch again, because I haven't watched that in so long. When Chelsea tells Saxon he's soulless. Laurie confronting Jacqueline. I was so happy. Yes. When Gaytoch found the gun, I was also very happy and relieved.

And Chelsea saying, there's not a drug in the world that would make me get with my brother. She's like, I'm not judging. Horn Chy thinking about a future with Belinda. That was cute. And I want to say that I knew Harrison was going to call, of course, the husband. I don't know if that's a love, but.

But it feels good to be right. You know what mean? Like when you're like, I bet that happens and it pays off. You actually said a lot of the same things I was going to say. I like the way the episode started with that brilliant, like sort of fantasy sequence. When I first saw it, I was kind of like, no, this can't be real. Cause oh my God, that would be, that would be pretty heavy for the show. Again, we talked about how gorgeous.

Thailand looks. Was it, I think Chelsea said something about you're a Libra riser.

You're a quality person. Yes, I'm a Capricorn rising for those of you who don't know. I mean, well, who know what that means?

Speaker 2 (03:23.112)
yeah. I also have no idea what that means. I loved, I loved Chloe saying she had to bribe the deckhands. She's like, I gotta go bribe the deckhands so they don't rat me out. Chelsea being like sort of like a Cassandra and saying, wait, wait, don't do this. Bad things come in threes. Again, only one who knows what show she's in. really I love Belinda's.

means I'm a hard worker.

Speaker 1 (03:33.816)
Yes!

Speaker 2 (03:51.15)
quoting Scarface, that was hilarious. And then Chloe calling Saxon soulless about time. I don't like what Jason's, Jason Isaac's character is doing, but I really like what he's doing in the part. Like I think he's fantastic. He's been great in everything I've ever seen him in, but this, this is a really unusual performance for him and it's really good. I I love Gaytoxel.

stealth mission. feel like Gay Talk and MOOC, there's like, I feel like everybody's sort of in their own little movie and he's in a madcap romantic comedy with MOOC where he's trying to like win her over and then his gun gets stolen and he's got to sneak in to get the gun. I would love to see like a zany version of the Ratlifts where it's like national lampoons vacation in Thailand. Where this group just gets into their wacky adventures kind of thing.

Because it could all be, you know, sitcom, you know, like the daughter says they're going there so she can write a thesis, but no, she really wants to live with the monks and the monk mother's freaked out. Like in a different, in a different show that is, you know, the Brady Bunch in Hawaii, you know, like that it's a very different type of

change the music and add a laugh track. I mean, I feel like.

Yeah, mean, but yeah, like also the way it's shot, because there's the, the murdery death part of it. you do have this everybody's a suspect kind of thing. And, there's a lot of, but, there's a lot of, you know, the mystery and everything going on in a different movie. This is like a wacky rom-com about a crazy family that goes to Thailand. the other thing, the other, this, this one line told me everything.

Speaker 2 (05:48.51)
It told us everything we need to know about Victoria. She needs to fear poverty like everyone else we know. Boom. Like when, when somebody can capture a character in one sentence, that's beautiful, eloquent, elegant writing. and damn does it work. And it's like, that's a character speaking her truth in an intimate moment with her husband, but it tells you everything you need to know about her. it's brilliant.

forgot a love, I forgot to write it down, when the guru, what he says about life and chasing, you know, because you're not happy, but that was great.

Yeah. Chasing pleasure only to find the pain is still there. Cause you can't outrun pain. You know, very Buddhist, very Zen kind of thing. he was lovely too. Like, don't know who that but he was terrific. Like, it just seems like they did so much cast that guy. They just found him at that temple. know, they like, like found her like a real guy. Yeah. But he just, he seems like, and you could see why somebody like Piper would want to go there. You know, like, because she's been living in this.

material world, you know, to quote Madonna, but like for a long time and wanting to take a break and find out who the hell she is. And I think that's what all these characters are kind of doing in a way. Rick's there, you know, he's trying to find himself and resolve his like inner conflict. And, you know, she's trying to find herself as a young woman. Lockie is doing the same thing, you know. I don't know. I think the only one with like a decent head on her shoulders is Chelsea.

That's why she's my favorite character. She doesn't seem like, she's the only one who seems to know like herself and you know, what's up and she understands people. Albeit there's some wacky zodiac stuff in there, but who cares? I like the way she's able to sort of like distill things down and go, this is what's happening. You know, the fact that she doesn't end up, you know, hooking up with one of the brothers and you know, she's like, no, I don't want to do that. I have a fulfilling experience. Why do I?

Speaker 2 (07:56.396)
Why do I need this empty thing over here? Yeah. So, you know, and she, you know, she doesn't strike me. She's like Einstein or anything, but she has a very like keen self-awareness that I like.

Yes, she's not chasing the pleasure to hide the pain, really. She's a little bit more of like a voice of reason, actually. Like she's more grounded. She's not searching for herself. She knows herself. Saxon didn't know he was searching for himself. Now he's gonna be searching for himself, I think.

This is the first episode where he wasn't awful. He went through an experience that he doesn't understand and he's trying to figure out, you know, first he's trying to solve the mystery of what happened, you know, because drugs, but then, you know, he's trying to figure out what this means to him and what, like that's pretty, that's pretty, like, that is not on your life's bingo card. know, nobody thinks.

Right.

Speaker 2 (08:58.21)
But what if I get really high in Thailand and my brother kisses me like what? You know.

No.

Yeah, that is not on the menu kids. It's, it's just not. So, you know, and for him who's like so superficial and shallow and, know, just materialistic and stuff for him. Well, one of the things I thought was interesting about the episode was the contradiction of having these materialistic people in an unmaterialistic world. You know, like when the family goes to the Buddhist monastery or whatever, like

I could not think of anybody more out of place in a place, you know? And, but they're all so desperate, except for Victoria, who's just like, I don't want to be poor. Yeah. I don't think I can be poor. You know, like I thought there was a lot of interesting themes and stuff going on. And we saw a lot deeper into the characters in this episode. And that's, that's the stuff that that's the, that's the good stuff. That's where like where they could.

See.

Speaker 1 (09:49.038)
She didn't want to live.

Speaker 2 (10:00.31)
drama comes from the character reveals and things like that. And that's what makes it interesting in my opinion.

Okay, hate. I just said Locky is gross. Sorry. I don't know, like.

Speaker 1 (10:15.788)
I just, I don't know. I just don't know where that comes from. Greg Garret, like I still hate, I hate Greg Garret. Chloe with him, I hate. Chloe, I hate them both right now. Fabian telling Belinda to like come to see him sing. and I forgot to say when she goes, break a leg, break two legs. Yes, I hate Luke actually. I really don't like her character. I rewatched part of the first episode and all she cares about is gay talk like,

the, he doesn't really have like, he's not tough. And I'm like, I don't like her. Like, I think I forgot that she was kind of jerky to him in the beginning. And I thought she was so cute when you'd see her with the guests and stuff. I'm like, no, I don't like her. Like she got very into it because he talked about the gun and she's, I don't like her. So I decided, Jacqueline making Kate feel bad about telling Lori about Valentin. I said, that.

Be real, I'm so tired of the BS line. I was so happy all that, that Lori just like threw it out there. Ugh, I can't stand that tiptoeing around. I am not that person.

Well, you know what? We are also East Coast people and East Coast people, especially New Yorkers tend to be a bit more direct anyway. And I think that's the sort of difference between sort of like New York and LA people. I went out to LA a few years ago, you know, to do some business stuff out there and I was staying with a buddy of mine. And the first one, the first thing he said to me is like, you can't be a pushy New Yorker out here.

You just can't be that way. And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, Jason, like you can't, you just can't like, you can't push people here. because every, you know, and it's just not the way they are. And I do feel like, you know, the, the, the episode's called Denial, which despite our funny alternative titles, that is incredibly appropriate because a lot of these people are in denial. but yeah, that whole thing, I liked that she got

Speaker 2 (12:19.266)
Lori called her out on that and was just like, just stop. We have to stop doing this. You know? Yeah. And I can also appreciate Jacqueline, her, because I think she probably feels like an alien to these friends that she's had because she doesn't live in their world. You know, like she lives in a whole different type of existence. Actually, all three of them live in very different worlds. You know, like New York lawyer.

Texas, you know, wife and, you know, movie star, you know, like it's very, very, they're all, they all have things in common, but they are all very different. And that I think has gotten to. Like, I knew this was going to happen. Like I knew there was going to be some, you know, I was like, I was like these, once they, once two started gossiping when the third was missing, I was like, yeah, there's definitely going to, is going to come to something.

You said it.

Speaker 2 (13:18.072)
But it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Like, didn't go overblown melodrama, which was, I think what I'm noticing is a bit of like restraint in the script, know? Because it's not over the top. It's not, you know, like people aren't screaming at each other and, you know. Right.

like a Real Housewives.

Yeah, exactly, because that's what this could be. The three girls trip, they could be real housewives. And then the family could be a zany misadventure in Thailand, a la National Lampoon's vacation. Rick is just on this revenge trip. He's doing a John Wick. But it is interesting how.

Yeah, like really the only thing these people have in common is just staying all the same place. But yeah, I think with Locky too, like, you know, I think he's a very, he's a teenager and he's going through some stuff and he's just trying to find something to latch onto. And he's probably having...

Shouldn't have been his brother's p- Sorry.

Speaker 2 (14:35.054)
Well, you know, I, you know, I, I got nothing for that in terms of, but I do see a kid.

No, can relate.

Just kidding. But why? like, I feel like

Saxon's not the alpha anymore, we know that.

Well, do feel like with him and like that character, Lockie is an interesting character because he's trying to find something to hold on to. So like, you know, when things don't work out with, know, like he has the sexual misadventure and drugs and then he tries to help his sister out and trying to like latch onto her and, you know, be part of her thing. But he doesn't know and he's probably...

Speaker 2 (15:21.922)
you know, questioning whatever your sexuality is and like, you know, being a teenager sucks. know, I don't, especially now, I don't have no idea, but you know, it's, it, does make for, it does make for some interesting television. All right. So what we got up next.

gosh.

Speaker 1 (15:39.148)
I can relate. Do you have any?

You know, felt like, I, I, I feel like I can relate to, I feel like I can relate to these characters as much as anybody else is trying to find themselves and having had been a young person at some point, trying to find myself and, and screwing up amazingly and trying to figure out like, you know, the sense of self, what are you supposed to be doing? You know, cause it's not everybody gets a solid path in life.

Chloe, she's found herself and she's in this sort of business deal of a relationship, which is gross, but very realistic. happens. cause look at all those other guys on that boat with the young wives and stuff. She's, she knows, she knows who she is. She knows where she is. She's completely content with it. It's awful. But you know, that's, she's like, this is a good situation. Not he's a good man. I love him. No, this is a situation. Yep. Tells you again.

Single line tells you everything you know to know about the character. did you have any, I could relates.

when Saxon is using the bug spray and like going crazy. mean, that is me. I'm like, why didn't this happen earlier? I have a pool, you know, we got mosquitoes and everything. And I am like a bug spray crazy person. I have the natural peppermint oil. have the DEET will kill me probably. Like, so I could totally relate to that. And then also I have been to a shooting range. So twice, but it didn't look like that. It was outside, but yes, I have been to a shooting range.

Speaker 1 (17:15.927)
But I was not a good shot like gay talk.

That was what I was going say. That was surprising that Gay Talk was a pretty good marksman.

That was hot. Like, that was cool. Like, finally. This little knee, like, come on.

Finally, he's competent at something. Yeah. Shall we move on to fat? Did you have a lot for fashion? I thought everybody looked, I don't have like specific things, but I every look, everyone looked fantastic in this episode. Everybody looks so good.

Yes, I have a fashion frustration because I couldn't find something. And I have some fashion fun facts. I think that's the, yeah, and just some information. So I don't even know where to start. Okay, let's start with Chloe because we see her in the beginning. She was wearing the same bikini top that she was wearing in the last one. And I was like, I don't think anything that great about it. It was like this aqua sea green color. It looked like a

Speaker 1 (18:13.23)
sports bra almost. Now, I found on TikTok somehow through all my rabbit holeing, if that makes sense, this TikToker called at great underscore Dane, D-A-Y-N. And she like knows the brands and like shouts them out. Like she's like, I love watching shows. She worked in fashion and stuff and she'll know brands and shout them out. So let me tell you something about that bikini top. It's made, that bikini is made by a company which I've never heard of called Hunza.

H-U-N-Z-A. I did find a similar if people really like it on Amazon and I will post that. But that company made the same dress that we see Julia Robertson in the first scene of Pretty Woman. And it's the same material. And I knew there was something about that material for real that I was like, something's familiar about that material. It looks like it's kind of scrunchy. And that was her dress. I believe it was the white top.

and then it was connected at her sternum to a skirt, a blue skirt. And is that a little throw to, you know, she was a prostitute, Chloe thinks she's a prostitute. So I thought that was the really cool, I mean, I couldn't believe this woman whipped that information out. So I can't take the credit for that. I loved Sitala's, Sitala, I'm saying it wrong now, Sitala's.

dress slash robe when she meets up with Rick at that restaurant. It was gorgeous. I was looking it up all over the place. It looked like it was made of Jacquard. I couldn't find it. I think I found a little bit of a similar one. Also in the first scene, Chloe, this is my fashion frustration. Chloe is wearing, it looks like a coverup or a wrap. It's like black. It's not that exciting, but I got very stuck on it. It's black.

I believe when you, when I zoom in on it, has these little symbols on it. And I was like, what are those symbols from? What's that brand? I text my sister-in-law who knows a lot of brands. She lives in Florida and sent her it. And she said, it looks like Louis Vuitton, but maybe like a knockoff. And I was like, there's no way it's a knockoff on the white Lotus. I looked everywhere for this thing. I mean, I also even messaged Alex Oveird, the wardrobe, the costume designer.

Speaker 1 (20:37.154)
wardrobe designer, because she had written me back when I mentioned her in my story the other day. So was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I know she saw my message, but she didn't reply. I cannot find this thing. So if I find it before we, you know, when we upload the episode, I'll put a link if we, you know, if we happen to find it, that would be cool. That was my fashion frustration.

I wanted to point out that Jaclyn's phone case, I believe, when she was talking to her husband, has like a leopard print on it, reminded me of her bathing suit. I didn't look into the phone case. But speaking of phone cases, now there's a pop socket line of the white lotus. So it's the white lotus pop sockets. I think I sent you the picture of it. I was like, my God, are you kidding? They're pretty cool, like phone covers and these. I don't have a pop, I don't have one of those things on my phone, by the way, but.

I just like, they're making products all over the place off of the white lotus. Isn't it funny? Let's see. This show is causing me possibly to go into a shopaholic thing. I'm trying not to buy the things. I did buy the lookalike cheetah print or leopard print, whatever it is, bathing suit from last episode. We'll see how it goes. I do need a one piece, so we'll see. Anyway, I loved Zion's shirt, which was...

when he first got there. And I did find that on Shop Your TV. There was similar one, which was great, because of course his was super expensive, I'm sure. His was from Zara, which is no longer available. A very similar one on Amazon is 32.99. So that's pretty cool. I loved Victoria's caftan.

when she goes to the monastery, thought it was gorgeous. I think that was, I think that was sold out. I found, I almost bought it. Oh my God. I found a similar, I was like, no, I'm trying to hold myself back. I found a similar one on Amazon and then I found the same one on eBay. So on Amazon, was $39 on eBay. was 28 and I almost bought it on eBay, but I didn't.

Speaker 2 (22:53.486)
At what age do women consider caftans? When does that happen?

I think caftans have a bad rap, right? That they're for older ladies. But they're making, I think, I don't know exactly what age. I all ages would wear them. They're just, they're so pretty. I think that Victoria Ratliff had a belt around her, so made it a little more of a shape to it, as opposed to just big.

Billowy. I did love, I actually did love Jaclyn's cover up. It was pink with some, again, some, you know, pattern in it. It's $350. It was sold out. But of course there was a similar that I found that I can link. I think that is it. I like I had so many things.

No, there was a lot more in this episode because it wasn't just a carryover. There was a new day and new places and all that kind of stuff. So was a lot more new costumes going on.

By the way, the pink cover up, Jack, let's pick covers. This sounds really funny. Poupet, St. Barth is the brand and it's no longer available. But again, I did find one on Amazon that was very similar.

Speaker 2 (24:15.596)
I saw a movie not too long ago. went to a screening for critics, but one of things I noticed about the movie was everyone looked like they just got done with a shoot from Vanity Fair. You know, like everybody just looked so perfect. And it was a movie was set in the 1950s. It was not like, it's probably not what people look like in the 1950s, but it looked like the fashion shoot equivalent of a 50s themed fashion shoot. And everybody in the movie is just gorgeous. It was just like.

to the point where you're like, my God, you took you out of the movie. you just like, these people are too pretty. Like what's going on? And I do get a little bit of that with White Lotus as well to the point where you're like, I wonder what real humans at this place would look like. And they probably look like the place where Jacqueline went with like the older people. That's what Thailand looks like. It doesn't like, it doesn't, you'd even see the.

white lotus people, they're like on their own private yachts and resorts and stuff. Right. this is not a fashion thing, but just a look thing. Gary Gregg's house. my God.

yeah. Yeah, that looked good.

Nobody ethical had bought that house. There's no way a non-criminal owns that.

Speaker 1 (25:38.722)
This is why Chloe does what she does.

I mean, it looked like the, you know, at the end of the, movie where they face down the big drug cartel and they go to the Hacienda at the end, know, like this is, that's, that's what that reminded me of. Ridiculous, the pool and everything. We haven't even seen all of it yet.

No, I hope we do.

I get apartment envy when I watch stuff. Whenever you see a New York apartment on television, you're like, yeah, that's like $3 million a month. Nobody lives there. But this was just ridiculous. That place is insane. That was fashion, right? do we, I don't really have much for who's the shooter.

Nobody loves it.

Speaker 1 (26:24.216)
Who's the shooter? like, have no idea now. Now I'm like, I have no idea.

What I'm trying to do is follow the firearms. So Rick has a firearm in Bangkok. We know that's not, we don't know if that will be a separate crime in Bangkok. Gaytalk finally got his gun back, know, thank God, know, because we see the unraveling of Tim and his like whole fantasy about, you know.

Which is crazy because we were talking about that like is this guy one of those like family annihilator guys? Right. It looks like he could be given the right circumstance And apparently none of his family can live unless they're incredibly rich. We haven't seen we didn't see the the Russian mafia guys This episode but there was a gun there as well For the jewelry robbery that was never fired so

You know, it's like, where, and I don't know. I don't know where this is gonna come from. I feel like the closer we get to the shooting, the further we are away from, we don't even know who's gonna get shot yet. No. You know, I think we're very clueless at this point. Do you think this show is good despite the murder? Like, would this be a good show without, you know, the violence and the murder mystery?

hook of it.

Speaker 1 (27:54.35)
That's a good question. I think so because there have been moments where I forgot about the shooter, especially I think in this episode, because there was just so much other stuff that I was like, wait, I forgot there was a shooter. There was a shooting. Yeah, I think so.

That's compelling because a really good film, if you ever see it, there's films that will show you like a murder in Act One. then, but the rest of the movie is so compelling that you kind of, you forget about it. Then when it comes back at the end, you're like, my, yeah, yeah, you're still shocked. And I think this show is very well crafted that way.

That reminds me of the book where the craw dads sing. I know they made a movie out of it, but I read the book and the book was amazing. And there is a murder right in the beginning. You know there's a murder and then you read into the book and it goes back, it goes into the past. And I'm like, my God, I totally forgot that there was a murder. So yeah.

I think they're doing a really good job with these characters and making them very compelling. I mean, there's always the question of like, who do you want to die? Like, is there anybody that you're like, yeah, that guy should go, you know? Greg.

He's he's the one I definitely would want him to die. Sorry, it's standard. Okay. Well, okay for me I have

Speaker 1 (29:17.23)
Predictions, okay, Lockie, like, I don't know what's gonna happen, but Lockie sitting there meditating, realizing what he did. What's that gonna cause him to do? I don't know, I don't know.

I mean, would I would hope therapy. It would come.

Maybe he should stay at the monastery for a year also?

Yeah, maybe you could say with a sister. you know. well, yeah. You know what, I'm not even going to say. But there's probably a number of behavioral theories one could mount about that character. But yeah, but he definitely needs to talk to somebody. Maybe we should hook him up with Amarita for an afternoon. Yes.

Forget the posture thing. needs... Like, is he gonna lose his shit? Like, is he gonna lose his shit? I don't know. I don't know. Okay. So I did a little bit of reviewing of season one. And back in season one, there was Kai, a local who works at the White Lotus. This is in Hawaii. He gets involved with one of the guests and he says how the land...

Speaker 2 (30:02.358)
Right. Yes.

Speaker 1 (30:28.334)
that the white lotus is built on was taken from his ancestors. And he's very bitter about it. And I just keep going back to the land thing. And in Sicily, I was asking my husband, I'm like, I think that was not like on some sacred land, the white lotus. But I believe, I bet in Thailand that they took it from the locals or the natives. And I just keep coming back to this Greg Gary working for the...

Bureau of Land Management and Jim, the Sitala's husband owning the hotel. There is something, I swear, some kind of connection with the land. Also, I wanted to say, because I saw, I think I said to you, I'm like, you should watch the intro and look at the painting and everything. In that painting, if you watch it, the land and nature are killing the people at the end.

of the introduction. They're showing like the fish coming out of the water, swallowing the humans. So what, what is that? What's going on? Like there's something with the land.

Because I'm such an avid movie and television watcher, I always get very suspect of whenever they show me something or foreshadow something. I always think it could be like a misdirect or something. Which is great, because you shouldn't like, we just watched episode six, we should not know what episode eight is going to be by now. And it does keep.

surprising me. Maybe it's because I'm paranoid and I think, you know, bad things are going to happen and when they don't, I feel relieved. But like that's kind of what, you know, we were talking, what we were talking back in like episode five or whatever, like when people were like going off and doing these dumb things. Or, yeah. yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:19.918)
That was four. You didn't love that one. You didn't love that one.

I didn't, I thought these people were kind of dumb, but like, yeah. So I'm glad that, you know, things happened, but it wasn't, you know, I guess it's also a tone thing. Like the tone I was thinking was like, if everybody's in a horror movie together, you know, but this is a dark comedy. So it's a little bit, that dark, you know, like, but definitely a lot of, especially in this one, there was like, despite the comedy of it, there's a lot of darkness in this episode.

And it's really well done. and every, I gotta say everybody is hitting out of the park. Like all of these actors. Fantastic. This is, I'm glad you got me into this mess. don't, you know, like, it's fun.

I'm all sucked in. The White Lotus fan page on Facebook, it's so much, it actually is really fun because people are really into it and they're like, I wonder about this and I wonder about that. And it's good. It's good. It's fun.

I wonder where this ranks in terms of fandom, because remember we talked about Game of Thrones, and that was like crazy. That one had like a huge viewership. I don't know if it's doing those numbers, but it definitely has a fan base to it and a loyal fan base. And that's why I think HBO is investing in it. yeah, I do we, I try to think, do we have anything else for today? Do we have anything else that we want to talk about?

Speaker 1 (33:46.934)
I that's all I have. the puffer fish. There was a shot of the puffer fish laying on the beach and someone put up a picture on the fan page of Saxon's face next to the puffer fish and saying that's how he feels. So I thought that was really good. Yeah.

A fish out of water, literally. Yeah, that was good. That was great. All great stuff. All right. So shall we wrap it up?
